We ♥

We are looking for help translating this wiki, our most-used core software, and the many activities and content bundles being made.


Hardware

Educational organization can help out too. Like individual teachers, your organization can

  • Adapt materials for the XO laptops,
  • Review existing materials and interfaces,
  • Connect groups of students and teachers with one another,
  • Provide expert guidance to student groups

We are building open projects and open source tools and materials in every field. To sign up, see the Curators and coordinators page.



For an older overview of getting involved, see the more detailed page Getting involved in OLPC.
